- Abstract
- en_US Left-hand pages offer text and right-hand pages full-page illustrations. This version of the story features an elephant as emperor. The imposters' claim is credible here: "Only wise people will see this fabric. It will be invisible to fools." In this version, the wife is the first to be allowed to see the "fabric." The elephant is clothed in his underwear as he receives the suit that is so sheer that, as the imposters told him, it feels as though he is wearing nothing at all. The boy cries out that the emperor is wearing nothing but his underwear. In this version, the emperor rushes home to put on simple clothes. He also makes the boy his junior minister. The final page warns that telling people the truth "can keep people from making mistakes."
